Kerry Ye thought about it, and said uncertainly, “Maybe he has seen him before, or else he wouldn’t be so loyal to N. If you were Xuan Chu, would you love him if you didn’t know what he looks like?”
Tianye Mu stared at him, “I’m straight.”
“Of course I know. I mean if, why are you get so excited?” Kerry ridiculed him.
“Nonsense, why don’t you take yourself for example?”
Kerry lightly laughed, “I’m not fucking stupid.”
Tianye raised his foot to kick him, but Kerry dodged it, “What? Remember, I’m your brother.”
Kerry laughed without saying a word.
After resting for several months, Dr. Han was called by John, who was asked to come to Ye’ s villa.
“John, who’s again?” Dr. Han got out of the car and asked about it carefully.
John smiled kindly, “Young lady.”
Dr. Han didn’t respond, “Which one?”
John stared at him, “Who else? Of course it’s Venus Mu.”
“Huh? Is she back?” Dr. Han asked in surprise.
John nodded happily, “Yes, she is. And our young master.”
“What about…” Dr. Han was gossipy and leaned to John, asking, “How about Yan Chu from Hong Kong?”
John waved his hand, “There is no Yan Chu and there is only one young lady of our Ye family, and that is Venus.”
Dr. Han thought that John didn’t want him to know this for fear that Venus would be embarrassed and angry when she found out, so he nodded smugly and said, “Yes, yes, there is only Venus. What happened to her? Why call me?”
John sighed, “She has a head injury and was just released from the hospital after operation a few days ago, so you will be in charge of changing her medication for the next few days. Remember, don’t ask anything.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve been working for Ye family for a quite long time and I know the rules.”
John took him up to the second floor and knocked on the door of Kerry’s room.
“Young master, Dr. Han is here.”
“Oh, come in.” Kerry was dressed casually, with a cotton gray shirt, a pair of dark slacks, and a pair of slippers.
Dr. Han were instantly attracted by the milk bottle in Kerry’s hand, not expecting that a man who was so fierce and ruthless would be particularly soft when the gun in his hand turned into a milk bottle.
The room was no longer in order, for there were children’s toys everywhere, such as teddy bears, small tanks and small planes.
“Pingan, it’s time to drink milk.” Kerry’s voice was soft, like the winter sunshine.
Dr. Han got goose bumps when he saw this different Kerry. God, was the man he used to know? Pingan? Was his son?
He quickly searched the room and found a little guy sitting on the thick carpet with his head down, fiddling with a car in his hands, with lots of small parts in a box in front of him.
When his slightly curled and furry head lifted for a moment, Dr. Han froze there.
He was a well-educated man, but at this point, he didn’t know how to describe the child. Pretty? Cute? Delicate? Or all of them? The most special part was his eyes. How could they be in different colors?
He had been a doctor for so many years, but he never met a child with eyes in different colors. And from genetics, he should not have purple eyes.
Pingan took the milk bottle Kerry passed to him and without saying anything, he kept focusing on his toy car.
“Don’t let Tianye see it. It’s a limited edition and it has taken him a long time to get it.” Kerry rubbed his little head and turned back to Dr. Han, who was in a dazed state, and said, “This is my son.”
Though he just said four words, Dr. Han sensed his pride.
“Well, I know he is. He looks like you.” Dr. Han replied truthfully.
Kerry led him toward the balcony, where a woman with a pink hat sat in the sunlight, as quiet as a painting.
It was Venus. Dr. Han remembered her back.
Mixed feelings filled him as he saw her again. In just one year, her life had changed dramatically. No one could compare to her in this way.
On the table next to the recliner chair was a medical kit with all the medicines that Venus needed in these days.
“Venus, it’s time to change the medicine.”
Venus raised her head, frowning. It’s painful for her to suffer this, so naturally, she resisted.
“Don’t be afraid. Dr. Han will be very gentle.” Kerry read her mind and comforted her.
When Venus found the strange man standing behind him, she did not greet him as Dr. Han imagined, but looked at him with unfamiliar eyes and turned her head away unhappily.
Kerry didn’t want to see her suffer, so he urged Dr. Han, “Hurry up.”
“One minute.” Dr. Han said briefly. He was doing the final step, fixing the gauze with medical tape to completely cover the horrible ugly scar.
“Done.” After all this, Dr. Han took a long breath. It’s over.
Kerry kissed her on her check, “Awesome.” Then he puts the hat back on her.
Watching Kerry’s every move, Dr. Han felt weird inside.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that Kerry still could be so gentle.
He knew that Kerry must have seen that scar before. He was a doctor, and it was normal to see a scar like that, but Kerry was not, who showed no discomfort or disgust, which Dr. Han was somewhat impressed by.
Dr. Han packed up the medical kit and couldn’t help but ask Kerry, “Actually, it’s very simple to change the medicine. You can absolutely do it by yourself.”
Kerry had a look at him, and his tone instantly turned cold, “Then why do I need you?”
“Well, no offense.” Dr. Han was wrong. Kerry did not change and all his changes were only for Venus and his son.
Kerry sent him out and asked, “As you see, when do you think she will be back to normal?”
Dr. Han was not sure, for he was not an expert in brain.
“I don’t know.” Dr. Han was serious at the moment, “The nerves are complicated and subjects about it are hard to study. Mrs. Ye’ s current situation is like a creek meeting a rock in the way. Maybe one day, the creek suddenly breaks through the rock. Then she will be good on that day.”
After hearing this, Kerry only said on word, “Nonsense.”
Dr. Han was dumbfounded. What did he say wrong? What he said was the truth.
“Isn’t there a better way? Just wait?” Kerry was very upset.
In order to show that he was professional, Dr. Han thought about it and said, “Well… After the wound heals, you can take her to do everything she like. You know, the patient’s mood plays a very important role in the recovery. If she stays at home every day, she will easily get depressed, and she is also very prone to depression.”
Kerry listened carefully and did not make any comments. But he was planning what to do.
What did she like to do? Kerry only knew that she likes designing clothes, but he didn’t know anything else about her hobbies.
How about giving her a piece of paper and a pencil?
